Summary

[edit]
Author
Willem Van de Velde, the Younger
Description
English: A study in the lighting of an arm

It is the distinctive shorthand annotations ‘L’ and ‘b’ which have led to the attribution of this otherwise uncharacteristic drawing to Willem Van de Velde, the Younger. With these letters, and a few cross-hatched lines, the artist attempts to convey the effect of light on the forearm of a figure against a dark background.

Licensing

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
